INVENTOR ATTORNEY latented Aug. 30, 1932 @NITE STATES PATENT OFFICE;

GLANZSTOFF CORPORATION, OF NEW YORK, N.

Y., A CORPORATION OF DELAW'ARE SPOOLING MACHINE Application filed March 4, 1931, Serial No.

An object of this invention is a further perfection of the rayon spinning machine according to application No. 509,511, in which a travelin exchange spinning roller takes up the spun yarn during the exchange of a take-up spool.

In the example disclosed in the main application noted above, this exchange roller is driven directly by a motor located on the 1 swinging arm, which increases the cost of running this exchange roller.

By means of the present invention, this disadvantage has been eliminated.

The invention comprises the drive of the exchange roller by an intermediate shifting of the transmission gear directly from the corresponding overflow roller of the machine, so that it will not be necessary to have a special motor or a special arrangement for a motor. This not only means a consider, ble reduction in the cost of arranging the exchange roller but also an easier handling of the carriage which carries the exchange roller. When exchanging the centrifuge the carriage is positioned in front of the respective overflow roller, and the thread placed on the exchange roller, which will automatically drive the exchange roller through the overflow roller and thus wind up the thread.

The attached drawings show an example of this invention as follows:

Figure 1 is a partial side view of a centrifuge spinning machine, and,

Figure'Q is a plan view to Figure 1. The thread Z) comes from the spinnerettes a and passes over the overflow roller 0 to centrifuge d. On the frame 6 are rails f, on which the wheels g, g are running, carrying the carriage h. The swinging arm 70 is suitably arranged on the carriage h, carrying at its lower end the exchange roller 2'. Furthermore, on the swinging arm 70 above the exchange roller is a transmission shaft Z, which not only runs on the rim of the exchange roller 11 but also on the rim of this overflow roller as soon as the carriage is brought in position under the overflow roller 0. By means of this arrangement the exchange spinning roller 2' is driven directly 520,115, and in Germany March 10, 1930.

by the overflow roller 0 so that no special motor is required.

Having now fully set forth my invention as required by the patent statutes, what I desire to claim is:

1. In a spooling machine, a series of Gentrifugal spinning pots, means for passing filaments to the pots, and means directly driven by the first-named means, for acting as a take-up device during exchange or" the spinning pots.

2. In a machine for spinning artificial thread, a spinnerette, a spinning bath, a centrifugal spinning pot, a roller to lead the thread from the spinning bath to the said spinning pot, guide railg arranged on said spinning machine, a carriage engageable in said rails, an arm extending from said carriage, a take-up roller associated with said arm for use when changing the spinning pot, and means to drive said take-up roller comprising an intermediate wheel contacting with said take-up roller and first mentioned roller.

3. In a machine for spinning artificial thread, a spinnerette, a spinning bath, a centrifugal spinning pot, a roller to lead the thread from the spinning bath to the said spinning pot, guide rails arranged on said spinning machine, acarriage engageable in said rails, an arm extending from said carriage, a take-up roller rotatably secured to said arm for use when changing the spinning .pot, and means to drive said take-up roller comprising an intermediate wheel secured to said arm contacting with said take-up roller and first mentioned roller.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature.

CONRAD HERRMANN.
